Wednesday evening @KingsPlace saw the @BIGGospelChoir produce a vibrant, high energy show bringing an enthusiastic audience to its feet. A great selection of gospel driven music. Impossible not to be infused with their feeling.

I’ve got to recommend the Barbie exhibition at the Design museum, Kensington. It was so entertaining. Well curated, gave a history of the development of the doll. Surprisingly interesting and very engaging. Lots of Barbies on show as well as many of her costumes, accessories and vehicles.

Fabulous gig at the Barbican with Dave Holland, can anyone else make the bass sound like this?, Chris Potter, lithe, powerful and rhythmic, and the inestimable Eric Harland well able to whip up a storm with the best, but mostly subtle and sensitively adding percussive colour. Wonderful #WeAreJazz
